Many players have been waiting for Silver Wolf since its release, just like me. Before you start Hacking Universe, I have some information for you to get the most out of Hacking Reality with Silver Wolf in Honkai Star Rail.
Silver Wolf is a Quantum type Path of Nihility released by the first Banner of Honkai Star Rail1.1 patch. She is a very worthy character. If you haven’t tried it yet, you can try it out by getting an appropriate Honkai Star Rail Account.
Skills
Let’s review her abilities first so you can get a good idea of what exactly she does for your team. Her Talent gives Silver Wolf a chance to plant one of three bugs based on Trace level when attacking enemies. These bugs can debuff attack, defense or speed. Once implanted, bugs persist for three rounds.
Like most other characters, her basic attack deals Quantum damage equal to her attack stat based on Trace level, and also has a chance to plant bugs from her Talent.
Her abilities have a chance to give the target a random type of weakness to your party member based on Trace level and reduce their damage resistance to that type by 20% for 2 turns. If it is not possible to implant a weakness into an enemy, it will not reduce damage resistance. For example, if you have Lightning and Quantum types of characters, then the target already has both Lightning and Quantum weaknesses.
In addition, within 2 rounds, there is a chance to reduce the target’s All-Type Resistance by a certain percentage according to Trace level. On top of that, it also does the same amount of Quantum damage based on Trace level.
A really pleasant aspect of this ability is that if she implants a Quantum Weakness on a target, it can weaken many enemies at once. In my opinion, this is one of the most versatile and useful abilities in the entire game.
Her Ultimate, User Banned, has a chance to reduce the target enemy’s defense for 3 rounds according to Trace level. It also does a certain amount of Quantum damage based on Trace level.
How To Maximize Silver Wolf’s Damage?
If you build Silver Wolf correctly, you’ll be able to use her ult a lot. Her ultimate move will deal damage equal to 80% of the attack power of all enemies and deal toughness damage to all enemies regardless of the type of weakness.
Enemies that get Weakness Break Effect from it will always get Quantum Weakness Break Effect, even if they don’t have a Quantum Weakness. This technique is very useful and will help you prepare for the fight and deal good damage to most enemies at the beginning of the fight.
Overall, I think her outfit is pretty good at the basics. Even if I’m not managing a mono or dual type team, she has a lot of Utility. This allows her and your other characters to successfully deal massive damage and create opportunities for your heavy hitters.
At the same time, she becomes the most important support character on your team, allowing Seele to deal more damage to enemies who encounter Quantum’s weak point. I think any Hunt or Erudition unit would greatly benefit from the presence of Silver Wolf, even outside of the ability to grant weaknesses.
In the short time I’ve had Silver Wolf, she’s had an enormous impact on my team. When I needed the flexibility of choice for a two-team setup in Forgotten Memory and Memory of Chaos, she was an instant lock.
Traces
Now let’s look at her Traces. It extends the duration of bugs implanted by Silver Wolf by 1 turn. Every time Silver Wolf kills an enemy, there is a 65% chance to plant a random bug on the enemy.
Silver Wolf already distributes the debuff left and right, so considering her Technique has a good chance of crushing enemies at the start of combat. Inject increases the duration of her ability Weakness Inject by 1 turn.
If 3 or more debuffs affect the target, her last Trace ability reduces all type resistances by an additional 3%. 3% doesn’t seem like a lot, but it could be the difference between winning a melee fight and having to redo the same melee fight.
Eidolons
Moving on from her Trace ability, let’s take a look at her Eidolons.
E1: Social Engineering. This Eidolon provides Silver Wolf with 7 Power for each debuff the enemy has. This effect stacks up to 5 times for a total of 35 Power each time she uses Ultimate.
E2: Zombie Network. Reduces effect resistance by 20% when an enemy enters combat.
E3: Payload. It adds 2 levels to skills and talents, up to a maximum of 15 levels.
E4: Bounce Attack. 20% more Silver Wolf attack damage per debuff on the target. This effect stacks up to 5 times, increasing the total damage potential to 100% of Silver Wolf’s attack stat.
E5: Brute Force Attack. This increases her Ultimate by 2 levels, up to a maximum of 15. It increased her Basic Attack by 1 level, up to a maximum of 10 levels.
E6: Overlay Network. Silver Wolf deals 20% more damage to the target for each debuff the target has, capped at 100%.
If you have Eidolon 6 Silver Wolf, you can do a lot of damage as long as you can inflict enough debuffs on enemies. Eidolons don’t specify what type of debuff it is. So if you can get a couple of debuff units, how much damage potential Silver Wolfs could have with her ult. But I’m not sure if the result of doing this is necessarily suitable for all supporting roles.
Her damage is already pretty good at E0, so I wouldn’t worry about trying to get her Eidolons. Unless you really want to run her as the main DPS.
Relic Sets
As far as Relic Sets go, right now I’d go with Musketeer of Wild Wheat, since it adds both attack damage and speed. If you use Seele and Silver Wolf, you will consume skill points. So making Silver Wolf the fastest unit on the field means you can generate a lot of skill points, displacing her and Seele’s skills.
In terms of Planar Ornaments, I would go with Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise set. Because it both increases your Effect Hit Rate and gives you an attack bonus based on your Effect Hit Rate.
I think it’s worth digging out good gear for Silver Wolf. She’s a good enough character to warrant the work you put into Relic. I don’t have the best settings yet, but I’ll be using all of my Trailblaze power over the next few weeks to get a better one.
